Ray was amazing! I’d give him TEN stars but the option is not available. He was fun, energetic and funny. I don’t know how he kept the same energy all day because it was a looooooooong tour but Ray made the time fly. We covered the entire island except the national park which is only accessible by 4x4. Baby beach was cute. Glass blowing was nice to watch too. Kudos to the future governor of Aruba! We will definitely book again!

This tour was perfect. We saw all the highlights of Aruba while traveling by air conditioned bus. Included was a delicious lunch buffet at DePalm Island and plenty of time for us to explore the stops. A stop at Baby Beach afforded my son an excellent opportunity to snorkel, which he loves. Our tour guide, Ryan, went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and took pictures of anyone asking. My son thought Ryan was the greatest snorkel guide ever. It was a wonderful day for all ages.

I was extremely pleased that I took this tour, I was able to see most of the island from the comfort of the air conditioned bus. We had enough time at each stop. The driver was extremely informative and had a great sense of humor. It was a great way to see the diversity of the island. The only complaint: The empanada at the Natural Bridge stop was very scarce on cheese! The only suggestion: When I signed up for the Half Day Touron the internet prior to arrival in Aruba I was informed it was 4 hours. When I went to get my confirmation ticket, I was told it was over 6 hours.. I was picked up I appreciated this at 9:30am and did not get back to my hotel till 5pm.. This was actually 6.5 hours. While I appreciated all I got to see and do,, I would have wanted to know this was actually a full day tour. I had dinner plans and was more rushed than I wanted to be.

The Discover Aruba Tour was a very good introduction to the island, and a great activity for the first day there. The trip included a nice lunch and easy snorkeling beach. Our driver, Johan, was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend this overview tour to anyone coming to Aruba for the first time.
